User Assistance The control panel provides various forms of online user
assistance:
The ? button provides an explanation of the current function,
with some guidance for what to do next.
The ATTN (Attention) key blinks on the control panel when the
printer detects an error condition, potential error condition, or
when you make a change that suggests recalibration or other
action to ensure best print quality. There are three types of
AT TN messages:
◆ Actions — the printer has detected an error condition that
stopped printing or will prevent printing from starting. You
must correct the error before the printer will be ready to
print. When the printer senses that the error condition has
been addressed, the Action will be deleted the next time the
ATTN key is pressed.
◆ Warnings — the printer has detected a condition that, if left
unaddressed, could result in substandard prints or a condi-
tion that will require an action before printing can continue.
Any action on your part is optional, printing is not inter-
rupted for a Warning message.
◆ Changes — the printer has detected a change to the inks,
media, or printer that could affect print quality. Pressing the
ATTN key displays a message that suggests the actions to
perform for optimal print quality, such as recalibration. You
can dismiss the message with or without actually perform-
ing the suggested action, although ignoring the messages
could result in substandard output quality. Printing is not
interrupted for a Change message.
When the printer issues one of these messages, the ATTN key
will blink, and an alert beep will sound. Press the ATTN key to
display a list of message titles, and select a title to display a
detailed cause-and-recovery screen.
If you choose to not correct a Warning or Change condition and
resume printing, the ATTN key will remain displayed, but will
not blink until the printer issues a new Warning, Action, or
Change message. The messages can be dismissed by correcting
the condition, or by pressing the applicable key on the detail
screen.
